This is a good example of the successful ploy to distract the public from Obama’s real problem, his British/Kenyan father. Of course there is a hunger to know more about the background of the man destroying our economy. Concealment of those data was to create doubt, doubt Obama can, when necessary, resolve with innocent explanations. That way he can finally say, all of those loony birthers mislead you. "I really was born in Hawaii, went to Columbia and Harvard as I said, and am a “Native born U.S. Citizen.”

He likely is a Native born U.S. Citizen, and has said so before, but a Native Born U.S. Citizen is not necessarily a natural born U.S. citizen, and that is the qualification required by our constitution to become president - “born in the country of citizen parents”. The definition is cited in numerous supreme court cases and has never been amended, though there have been twenty four attempts to do so, the latest in 2004 by Orrin Hatch. A fair name for this tactic is confidence job. Someone says have $500,000 from the death of so and so in North Dakota, but need to close probate before I can collect. I'll split the award with you if you'll put $10,000 into the family account in South Dakota bank. Just check the country records if you doubt me. The county records will of course confirm everything. You never really know the person making the offer, but can confirm what he has suggested that you check on. Obama, by concealing records has "hinted" that we check on his birth certificate, passport data, school records, etc. What he hs done is to distract from the real issue.

OK.He likely is a Native born U.S. Citizen, and has said so before, but a Native Born U.S. Citizen is not necessarily a natural born U.S. citizen, and that is the qualification required by our constitution to become president - “born in the country of citizen parents”.

But why is it so hard to get people to understand this simple set of facts?

He certainly has "distracted" a fair number of FReepers who ought to know better.
